The Sarcmark: punctuation for sarcasm
- ilamont 17y agoClever, but a few limitations: It only works for some applications (AIM, Word, Outlook, etc., but not Twitter) and requires a font download for each computer. Someone should figure out an alternate sarcmarc that already exists as a special character in common fonts and ascii, IMHO. Set up the keyboard shortcut, and voila! Instant sarcasm.

- ojbyrne 17y ago"The Michigan company behind the SarcMark have applied for a patent to protection their invention." Let's hope for all our sake that that isn't accepted. I have these doodles... Perhaps next the Guardian will patent their grammatical errors.
